Benjamin Wayburn, LPC

Benjamin Wayburn is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor based in Colorado with eight years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, addictions, relationship struggles, parenting strain, sleep problems, depression, and anger among other concerns. He describes his focus as mind-body work, aiming to help people strengthen resilience and improve problem-solving in daily life.

Wayburn prefers to work with people who have chosen therapy and who are open to change. He uses a mix of direct and less-direct styles. Some clients outline clear goals together with him. Others let goals emerge through the conversation. He offers experiments to try between sessions rather than assigning homework.

Sessions begin with a casual greeting and routine paperwork, followed by a short review of rights and risk questions. He takes notes during sessions and reviews them at the end so clients know what was discussed and what to try next. His approach emphasizes bodily and mental experiences rather than focusing only on diagnoses.

Clinically, he draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Existential Therapy. These methods inform how he helps with emotion regulation, relationship patterns, and coping with life changes.

Wayburn aims to help people build self-respect, reduce reactive behavior, and handle resentment or frustration more constructively. He encourages practical experiments between appointments and a collaborative process for setting goals and measuring progress.
